Psychiatrists:
Most child psychiatrists are affiliated with children’s mental health organizations or hospitals. I am not aware of any in private practice who are currently accepting patients.
Treatment Programs Specific to Addiction:
There are a variety, both covered and private, and I am not an expert on these. For reliable information, please contact CAMH at 416-535-8501 option 2. The general mental health agencies listed below may also be able to advise.
